What could the Eugene-Springfield, Oregon Metro Area achieve with a $50 million federal investment in bicycling and walking? This project page presents the regional effort that has been made to develop a case that answers this question as regional transportation, parks, recreation, and health agencies and organizations contribute to and build upon Rails-to-Trails Conservancy’s 2010 Campaign for Active Transportation (CAT).

The City of Coburg has recently completed a project with grant funding from the State of Oregon Transportation and Growth Management Program (TGM) to develop a strategy for the creation of a hard surfaced bicycle and pedestrian path network that will be developed in the coming years.

The primary purpose of the Coburg Urbanization Update is to estimate the land needed to accommodate residential and employment growth over the next 20 years, and determine whether the city has sufficient land within its current Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) to meet the estimated land needs.

Eight rural cities in 3 counties in Oregon's Willamette River Valley worked together for 3 years to prevent impacts on important water resources as growth occurs. The project provides an example of how multiple jurisdictions can work together on a common issue, as well as some water resource planning tools that may be useful for other cities.

Lane Council of Governments will receive $1,450,000 to support regional planning for more livable, prosperous and sustainable communities under HUD’s new Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grant program.

TAPSource is a collection of informative resources dedicated to Lane County public water system source protection. About 20,000 rural households in Lane County pump their drinking water from their own wells.
